This depends on the buy/sell agreement. If the agreement establish that the seller takes the liability to pay the debts for the business, then will not be transferred. But in other hand the business is sold with all liabilities (debts), then the buyer that acquire the business will be liable to the debt. Is good to establish the assets and liabilities that will go with the buy/sell agreement.

What is diifferenct between liquidation and partnership?

In business a liquidation means to sell of the assets of a business. A partnership is a joining together of two or more people to run the business. The only situation I can perceive where these two ideas would be options is when the business owes someone a debt. If the creditor proposes to be paid by you liquidating the business this means you close shop. If however the creditor offers a partnership this means he offered to join with your business as an owner and uses the debt to buy into your business.
